New Boss in Elden Ring - Romina, Saint Of The Bud

The ruins of Shadow of the Erdtree’s Ruins of Rauh offer players a significantly calmer experience compared to Shadow Keep. These areas are lush with greenery and waterfalls, with the air filled with butterflies swirling around a massive hybrid of a woman, scorpion, and centipede, eager to strike you with her powerful stingers.

Romina’s Features and Attacks

Developers at FromSoft have equipped Romina with several astonishing attacks. She actively uses her scorpion and centipede tail for strikes and wields a massive spear for more dangerous assaults. Romina’s spear offers speed and precision, allowing her to execute combinations of two to four strikes. In addition to physical damage, Romina can enchant her spear with magic, increasing damage and accumulating Scarlet Rot with each hit. She can also transform into a huge ball of insects, performing large jumps or rolling across the arena, concluding her maneuvers with a powerful spear strike.

When Romina’s health drops to 50%, she creates a vortex of pink butterflies around herself, which also inflict Scarlet Rot. Periodically, she ascends, creating butterfly fields across the arena that explode in the air. Sometimes, Romina combines these maneuvers, flying over the arena and striking with her spear, leaving a trail of butterflies behind.

Effective Strategies Against Romina

Although Romina is not particularly difficult to dodge and defend against, her unusual hitbox can pose a problem. Players often find themselves accidentally within the strike zone. Many of her attacks end with a wide sweep when she retreats, so players need to approach the fight with caution.

As always, Spirit Ashes are invaluable assistants. Romina is also sensitive to fire and frost, so any magical spells or enchantments using these elements will be particularly effective. Weapons with good range can help avoid issues with her unusual hitbox, though piercing weapons often fail to hit, and slower weapons may leave you vulnerable during butterfly attacks. Rellana’s Twin Blades are effective when you catch the right moment. If you keep your distance, moonlight projectiles can be useful, though fire special attacks may make you too vulnerable.

Magical users' abilities can be a decisive factor, especially if your Spirit Ash successfully draws Romina’s attention. Despite the danger from her stingers, they are easy to avoid once you understand how she uses them. When her health drops to 50%, it’s crucial to avoid close proximity due to the increasing threat of Scarlet Rot. When Romina ascends, you have an opportunity to deal damage from a distance, but it’s important to restore defense after her butterfly attack. Knowing where on the field butterflies do not appear is crucial, but this can be challenging. Avoid casting other spells during the butterfly explosions, as this may lead to significant health loss.

When Romina’s spear is enchanted, you need to dodge horizontally, especially on the third strike, to avoid the trail of butterflies she leaves behind. Always keep Preserving Boluses on hand to reduce Scarlet Rot damage, which can be critical in a prolonged battle.
